It made for a promising start all-around

What a GREAT article on MarShawn Lloyd; so well-researched and written. I shed tears several times while reading it. Thank you, Wes!

Thanks for checking it out, though the real credit goes to MarShawn and his mom, Na-Shawn. Both were so gracious with their time while providing the anecdotes that brought the story to the life. I always enjoy diving into the backstory of the incoming draft picks to understand what makes them tick. Through that process, I gained an appreciation of the entire family’s work ethic and the sacrifices they all made in helping MarShawn get to the NFL.

Thanks, Wes, for the inspirational story of MarShawn Lloyd’s journey to this moment in his young career. It’s apparent Mother’s Day was every day as he followed his dreams!

If I was just a little faster, I would’ve loved to turn the story around for Mother’s Day, but it took a minute for all the pieces to come together. You can tell how much MarShawn appreciates his mother and everything she did for him. With all the sacrifices the family has made over the past 10 years, it’s cool that everyone now gets to enjoy this ride to Green Bay.

The contracts for franchise players in the major sports, say quarterbacks, are out of all proportion to many of the other players on the team. In baseball, a few points of batting average and 10 home runs can be worth millions to a player. Do you see a time when collective bargaining wins a better deal for the rest of the roster? Or, when will the rising tide lift all boats, not just the yachts?

I don’t see that trend changing. QBs are the NFL’s CEOs, and we all know how CEOs pull down the biggest salaries in a corporation. That’s the entry fee for one of the best in the business at football’s most essential position.

Best morel season ever here, hope you guys had some. I have been watching some of Luke Musgrave‘s 2023 season. He appears to be too fast for a LB and too big for safeties or CB. I think he is indefensible, what do you think?

Nobody is indefensible in this league, but Musgrave does challenge what a defense can do schematically. His size, speed and range are special. He was a second-round pick for a reason. What impressed me most was how much ground he can cover in only a few steps. It made for a promising start all-around.
